Transmission Resumed

So, despite a complete lack of further updates yesterday, the interviews went pretty well.

As yet there’s been no official feedback from either one – the first one won’t be finished interviewing people ’til Friday, and the second one is seeing another person today – but both seemed to go well.

The contract one is right up my street, with lots to do, and the people seemed pretty good as well. In fact, it seemed more like going in for a meeting, discussing requirements and so on, rather than an interview. I know that both scenarios end up with either getting work or not, but it was more a conversation about ideas and plans, rather than “So, what’ve you done previously?” and all the normal interview guff.

The first one was far more formal, questions about technical knowledge, expectations, preferred development process, versioning systems and so on. It went OK, and I’m fairly sure I came through it all in a good light, but it’s going to depend utterly on what they thought.

By the end of the day I was brain-dead, mind you, which is why I didn’t get round to writing anything else yesterday. Multiple interviews in one day is a good idea in that in one day off you get through them rather than all being on different days – but man, it’s a killer of brain-cells.
